Fixed a rare bug where fertilizing empty plots occasionally produces saves that cannot be loaded. This update can load those saves. Thanks to RIck for reporting this issue.

Today's update to Verdant Skies adds a bunch of user requested quality of life features and fixes a handful of bugs.

• Mods can now specify custom clothing items! Modders can create a ClothingItems.json to specify the items.
  
• The genetic splicer now works properly when you click on a genome. Previously it only worked when you used a controller or dragged the scissors icon.
  
• Additional controls for navigating the UI may now be customized on for gamepad or accessibility controller users.
  
• The full seed inventory size is always shown. Previously it shrunk down to your current number of seeds, making it look like the upgrades had no effect.
  
• The spice rack now mounts properly on tables and countertops.
  
• Minor dialog fixes here and there. Achievement typo fixes. Thanks to everyone who reported typos!
  
• Ramon's unlock achievement now unlocks properly- you no longer need to save and load your game to get the achievement.

Verdant Skies 1.3.2 went live last night. Most notably it contains a fix to a pretty big usability issue with the character customizer. This bug prevented newly created characters from changing the selected item of clothing without a few extra clicks. Version 1.3.0 included a major interface rewrite and got a lot of testing as a result. Unfortunately, this bug was introduced late in the 1.3.0 release cycle after the testing had uncovered some controller issues. Those fixes introduced the character customizer control issue. It also only occurred for new players, since they didn't have clothing items written to their save file yet, which made it a bit harder to find the bug via normal testing. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience caused by this issue! Thanks to everyone who reported it and described the issue. It's a huge help in finding and fixing bugs!

Full change list:

• A major usability issue with the character customizer was fixed.
  
• Teleporter and Teleporter Remote moved to correct crafting UI.
  
• Energy Bar width displayed incorrectly after increasing your max energy.
  
• Skye's tripod outside her home can no longer be stolen
  
• Minor event tweaks

Here's a bug fix update to all the new content added in 1.3!

• Wood staining, like recoloring chairs and tables has been fixed.
  
• Fix several usability issues with the name input dialog in the intro.
  
• Several fixes to the clothing selector input systems. (more to come in 1.3.2)
  
• Clear the right flags to allow you to remarry someone you divorced. If this applies to you and you've already started re-dating them, you'll need to break up with them again to clear the wedding events so they can reoccur.
  
• Relax Miles' wedding event time of day restrictions.

We've been working on this major update to Verdant Skies for months, and we're happy to release the largest update yet!
